We went with the band to perform in June 2023. Let's start with the good stuff, there's not much of it: beautiful nature, dolphins, discos with grandmothers, a good water park and a Ferris wheel. And now about the bad stuff.
1) The repair leaves much to be desired. There are broken tiles everywhere, it stinks terribly, scuffed wet wallpaper with stains, plaster is falling off, beds with springs that dig into the back, there is some kind of grave needle in one of the beds.
2) The staff. There's only one maid in the entire hotel who needs to retire. They asked us to remove it, and we were almost evicted, and they also said that all Russians were the last ungrateful pigs. There was no cleaning at all, the floors had to be washed with a towel. On the balcony next to us, where no one lived, there were dirty, dusty underpants that felt older than the hotel itself.
3) Food. On the plus side, I managed to lose weight in a week. Pancakes are also normal. Everything is steamy and bland, the food repeats itself, the buffet is difficult to call such, but you will not starve). One of us threw up on the cottage cheese...
4) The lights and Wi-Fi are often turned off, and the doors are magnetic
It's a formality. And now about the most interesting part.
There's a centipede in the room, and a moth in the next one. Of course, they were also scared and didn't get into our ears, but we were already afraid to enter the room.
A little bit about the wonderful lady in the photo. Story: we walk around the hotel during the day, we don't touch anyone. A guy comes up, gives the girl's number, they say they liked us, wants to get to know each other. The girl doesn't really look like a girl, as you can see. We refused culturally, the girl began to harass us in the dining room and outside its territory (she is a hotel employee, a waitress). She said that every season she gets to meet beautiful girls here. Desperate, she gave us the middle finger. It's scary to come back.... Such pies. Draw your own conclusions
We had a rest in October, the weather was great, the sea was clean, the beach was well cleaned, there were sun beds, the pines were tall, the air was fresh, the positive moments were over...
The food was like in a gourmet canteen, the porridge was diluted with water, the soup was the same. The staff is rude, they went begging to give us toilet paper, there is no cleaning, there are no mats in the shower, there is only one elevator for the entire building (bang). I do not advise you to rest here, unless you are looking for other accommodation and food, the nature is of course amazing, the rest is a minus.
The sea is clean and warm, the nature is beautiful, the climate is mild - Abkhazia has charmed Everything
else is a rather dubious pleasure. The building (Amzara) and the rooms have not been renovated, apparently, since Soviet times. Tiles on the paths in many places "reared up", I advise small children to hold hands on a walk - they fall. The food in the dining room is buffet-style, the menu is monotonous: soup / borscht, porridge, chicken offal, completely
inedible cutlets, sometimes fish, vegetables, apples. But everything is in sufficient
quantity, you will not stay hungry, for a change you can go to the cafe downstairs, there you can buy beer and chacha in the bar. There is a fruit tent on the territory - peaches, figs, melons, grapes, juices, and a shuttle service (paid) will take you to the market and to the city. In the evening, there is music and a spontaneous disco in the cafe, in front of the boarding house, kebabs are fried in the cafe (it is better to close the balcony).
The conditions and attitude of the staff are for an amateur. There are catastrophically not enough rods on the beach (to take this remedy, you need to get up at 5-6 a.m.) and on this basis, skirmishes often occur among vacationers. Service: upon arrival in a dirty room, the maid cleaned on demand, took out the garbage daily, changed the bed linen and towels after 5 days. There is no curtain in the bathroom, after using the shower you need to be ready to clean the water from the floor every time. The room has a TV, air conditioning. A small refrigerator. A carafe for water. One glass for two. An armchair, a plastic chair. Conclusion: if comfort does not matter, we enjoy the sea and the views of nature)
